4x4: 1:25
5x5: 2:50
OH: 32
BLD: ~3:30
4BLD: dnf
Magic: 1.05ish

Its because you put a "greater than" sign before them all.

 

[5BLD]

Ben, its because you used ">".
My goals:
Well to do as well as at home. Or how well I do on a good day.
Which is:
2x2 5 secs/4secs
3x3 11 secs/10 secs
4x4 1:20/ 1:15
OH 24 secs/22 ses

Edit: yup, cubersmith beat me to it ben.

3x3: sub10/sub11
sq1: ER/ER

I have no time to practice at the moment, so these are optimistic, to say the least.

 

[scotzbhoy]

Goals (single/avg):
2x2: Sub-4/Sub-6
3x3: Sub-13/Sub-15
4x4: Sub- PB/any avg
5x5: " "
OH: PB/PB
Sq 1: Sub- 20/Sub-30
Pyra: Sub-8/Sub-11
Mega: Sub-2/PB
BLD: Any success
Clock: Sub-10/Sub-13
Magic: NR/PB
Master Magic: PB/PB

I stand by these. Some are definitely more realistic than others.
What are people doing on the Friday? My bus gets in at 5, but Rob doesn't arrive until 10:30, so I have 5 and a half hours to kill before I can check in at YHA :/

 

[Muesli]

Targets! (sgl/avg)

2x2 - Sub 6/Sub 8
3x3 - Sub 16/Sub 18
4x4 - Sub 65/Sub 80
Pyra - Sub 10/Sub 15
Mega - Sub 3:30/Sub 3:45

 

[Selkie]

As others have said I guess a bit early for setting goals but probably:-

2x2: Sub 9 / Sub 7
3x3: Sub 20 / Sub 18
4x4: Sub 1:30 (make average cut) / Sub 1:20
5x5: Cant see me making average cut / Sub 3m
OH: Sub 50 / Sub 45
3BLD: Any success what so ever!
Magic: Sub 2.5 / Sub 2
MMagic: Sub 5 / Sub 4.5
Clock: Sub 18 / Sub 16
Others: Whatever!

Yeah pretty much as posted 2 months ago with the exceptions of:-

4x4: Sub 1:30 (make average cut) / Sub 1:15
5x5: Cant see me making average cut / Sub 2:45
Magic: Sub 2.5 / Sub 2.5
MMagic: Sub 5.5 / Sub 5.0
Megaminx: Wont qualify for average / Sub 4:00
Square1: Hope for a lucky solve on 1st two solves for average!

I doubt it. I probably wont get many of them.

I was using a form of mocking other than sarcasm this time.

 

[kinch2002]

I am looking for someone to run the 'Introduction to competing for new competitors' during the magics on Saturday morning. Ideally you will have been to several comps and won't be doing magics. And you don't mind noobs

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Goals:
...
4BLD: Success
5BLD: Success

Good luck mate . I was disappointed when you didn't get your 4BLD success at Guildford. You had a 5BLD success yet?

 

[chrissyD]

goals

2x2 sub 4 / sub 6

3x3 sub 14 / sub 16

4x4 anything below 1:30 my times are always about the same

5x5 sub 2:45/ sub 3 not done much 5x5 recently

pyraminx sub 10 / sub 20 need to practice this alot more

I don't do OH as my hands just aren't built for it and i suck

this with the exception of 4x4 and 5x5

4x4 sub 1:10 / sub 1:20

5x5 sub 2:30 / sub 2:40

also I got a feeling i'm gonna mess up badly on the 3x3 since I've been doing terrible for the past month D:

I haven't been practising pyraminx either so prepare to see some noob times :|

 

[timelonade]

So, I've started practising today, for the first time in months.

I expect around a 7.xx average for 2x2, hopefully sub-4 single.
And probably a 22.xx average for 3x3, with a sub-20 single.

4x4 will probably be poop and be around 1:40, and 5x5 will probably be around 2:30, I somehow manage to retain my times for 5x5. ._.

Anyway, can't wait. :3

These are my targets! Yay!

But I mean my main target is to have loads of fun. SO EXCITING.

Go Axel!

ololfail. dunno how I didn't notice that :3

 

[Mollerz]

Good luck mate . I was disappointed when you didn't get your 4BLD success at Guildford. You had a 5BLD success yet?

Unfortunately not yet. Closest I've come is 3 centres off in 37 minutes. I've had 3 or 4 where I'm off by fewer than 5 centres and 3 wings so it's just about getting that success really, hopefully it will happen at competition! For 4 BLD I am aiming to beat your time as well but that seems really slow now. Also I'm going to Norway in February and they have MBLD there, I'm going to try at least 8 cubes.

I've only had a couple of attempts at 5BLD and no success either, I'm pretty busy these days so I barely get to practice any BLD. My 4BLD time in competition was pretty slow I reckon, so if you've been practicing you should be able to beat it. Also, it's pretty awesome that you're going to try 8 cubes, hope it goes well .

To everyone else: good luck, and hope you all have a great time. Although the last part is moot as I don't think it's possible for a competition to not be fun.

 

[Escher]

I got my bag stolen from work with my main 3x3 (the one I won last comp) and my WitTwo 2x2 in it, along with my wallet containing bank cards etc, my QJ timer and Frijj milkshake

Will be able to loan money off my parents to come down, but I can't replace those cubes in time for the comp

 

[aronpm]

That sucks

 

[Muesli]

Frijj milkshake

Oh my god... What flavour? D:.

But seriously, that sucks.
